Top 10 articles published on Opensource.com in February 2014

We had a stellar February and a new record for Opensource.com bringing in 325,775 page views and 219,300 unique visits. We finished ourWomen in Open Source Week at the beginning of the month, then featured Beginners in Open Source Week. These stories were gathered from developers, designers, educators, and more in the open source community who may not have considered sharing their story before but were encouraged to do so because of our focus on "women" and "beginners" in open source.

In other news, we published a new "What is OpenStack?" page. We've found that many of our readers are eager to learn more about this open source project for building and managing cloud computing platforms.

Now, a couple of thank yous before we get to our Top 10:

Thank you to Dr. Bowring, professor of computer science at the College of Charleston, who gave CSCI 462 class students this assignment: "Explore Opensource.com. Read at least two medium length articles from the site and blog about what you learned and your response to the articles." Talk about some fun homework!

Thank You to Horst Jens from Vienna who translated several of our education posts into German and republished them in his magazine for schools and teachers. Isn't Creative Commons awesome?

Last but not least, a huge thank you to our community of readers in February for sending in story ideas, open source events, and for sharing our content on social media, with colleagues, as well as with students, package maintainers, and peers who are new to open source and the open source way.
